2Corinthians:11:23-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Are they ministers of Christ ? (
I speak as a fool )
I am more ;
in labours more abundant ,
in stripes above measure ,
in prisons more frequent ,
in deaths oft .
*
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one .
*
Thrice was I beaten with rods ,
once was I stoned ,
thrice I suffered shipwreck ,
a night and a day I have been in the deep ;
*
In journeyings often ,
in perils of waters ,
in perils of robbers ,
in perils by mine own countrymen ,
in perils by the heathen ,
in perils in the city ,
in perils in the wilderness ,
in perils in the sea ,
in perils among false brethren ;
*
In weariness and painfulness ,
in watchings often ,
in hunger and thirst ,
in fastings often ,
in cold and nakedness .
*
Beside those things that are without ,
that which cometh upon me daily ,
the care of all the churches .
*
Who is weak ,
and I am not weak ?
who is offended ,
and I burn not ?
*
If I must needs glory ,
I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities .
*
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
which is blessed for evermore ,
knoweth that I lie not .
*
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison ,
desirous to apprehend me :
*
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall ,
and escaped his hands .
